Will Diablo III run on VMWare in Foundations?

a permanently moored laptop (dead screen) which I use as an XP workstation;

a desktop running as a Linux SUSE testbed, and

a KVM joining them all together.

(plus a PC for my lovely wife and a laptop for use when traveling to/from work on the train).

I must admit my homemade server rack is kinda crowded.

While coming home today I started thinking about getting rid of my semi-dead laptop and my desktop and running those environments as VMWare sessions on my Foundations server. I'd probably have to beef up the servers ram from 2GB to 4GB but if it worked then I can clear a lot of the clutter from around my desk.

Ha! I was just today trying to justify buying a tricked out, 4GB RAM Mac Mini to plug into the 52" HDTV by also running a couple VMWare images on the sucker and remote in to them from wherever. The familiy and guests can surf together, do Skype video calls together, and I can figure out how to deduct the whole thing as a business expense :-)
